PHILOSOPHY

Mums on the Go™ has been created to help mums value themselves as much as they value their children.

Primarily this site is a directory of child-friendly businesses such as child-friendly cafes & restaurants, health professionals and retail shops. However, Mums on the Go to is so much more than that! It is a place you come to be inspired, a place where you can connect with others, and be part of a community that makes you feel supported, nurtured and empowered. We have an active community engaged with our facebook page and our blog posts. 

Mums on the Go was co-founded by Linda Anderson who was committed to continuing to meet her own needs post-baby but without family support surrounding her she had two choices - Stop doing things for herself, or take her children with her! She soon realised how challenging it was to find child-friendly businesses. Word of mouth was a good source, but she wondered why there was no centralised resource listing these businesses.  So she decided to create one and Mums on the Go was born.

How do businesses end up in our child-friendly directory?
Any business who meets Mums on the Go criteria will be given a free listing in the directory. We don’t want to withhold any information from mums just because someone didn’t pay us! We discover these businesses by researching ourselves, by businesses contacting us or by mums telling us about their favourites. We will always cross check the information before adding to the directory.
Mums on the Go criteria is very simple: A business must provide something that makes being there with a child much easier for the parent. This can be high chairs, a change table, play area, crèche services and so forth. It must be something beyond standard expectations … for example we won’t list a café that only offers highchairs but we will list a café with highchairs, a change table and kids sized meals – or – highchairs and some toys.
